Principal Attorney, Vasselli Law, LLC

I’m James Vasselli, an attorney with more than 20 years of experience in municipal law, land use, real estate, construction, and tax law. As Principal Attorney at Vasselli Law, LLC, I provide strategic legal counsel to clients across Illinois—ranging from individuals and business owners to local governments.

My practice is built on a clear mission:

Deliver results. Protect the client. Do it with integrity and efficiency.

I’ve served as Village Attorney for the Village of Hampshire, Illinois, and have advised on governance, compliance, contracts, and zoning for municipalities and private clients alike. My work has earned recognition, including Super Lawyers Rising Star (2012–2014)—but what matters more is delivering day in, day out, for the people who trust me with their most important legal matters.

I believe in setting a tone of focus, clarity, and quiet consistency. I lead a team that values preparation, problem-solving, and professional growth. I stay sharp through structured learning, deliberate reflection, and a relentless drive to improve.

This blog is an extension of that mindset—a space where I share lessons learned, legal leadership perspectives, and practical takeaways that apply across industries and sectors.

Let’s stay connected.
